I took her to the dentist yesterday knowing she was going to get her "appliance" but I just figured it was going to be like a simple retainer we could take out!Nope,it's permanent for now.I always thought she had an overbite but in fact,the dentist said her bottom jaw is sitting back to far.So,they installed a "Twin Block".It has four purple sparkly "blocks" ..2 on each set that makes her bite down correctly and will reset all the jaw muscles and the jaw itself.She was a little trooper and still says it don't hurt!
Poor thing! Emma has an issue with her jaw being too small, and will need something to widen it some! They are so young these days getting these things!!
